3.3.2.1. Setting The Number Of Router Outputs
The number of router outputs within a frame must be set to 16, 32, 48, or 64, depending on how many
output cards are present within the frame. The frame controller will only recognize (and control) the
number of outputs specified by this configuration setting, regardless of how many output cards are
physically present in the frame.
The frame controller recognizes matrix outputs sequentially from output card slots
from left to right in the frame, as viewed from the front. The left-most output card
slot represents outputs 1-16, while the right-most output card slot represents
outputs 49-64.
3.3.2.2. Output descriptions
The default output names (Output 1, Output 2…) may be changed to better correspond to the RF signal to
which they are connected. The output descriptions are used by control system interfaces such as control
panels, or VistaLINK
®
interfaces, thus providing a more familiar control interface for the user.
3.3.3. Crosspoints
The Crosspoints menu displays a current crosspoint matrix configuration, and then prompts for changes to
the crosspoint matrix connections (i.e. which input is routed to which outputs). Below is an example of the
status for a frame populated with a 16x16 crosspoint matrix.
